Pressure, mobility and goal: The aspects in which Xavi has improved Barça

Xavi Hernández has recognised that it is well that there is euphoria in the middle of the significant improvement of the game of the FC Barcelona, but has called to all the sectors of the team culé to keep the feet on the earth and the humility. The way to recover the best version of the Barça is long and is necessary to go go through step, calmly and without hastes, although the time runs against.

The egarense does not want to sing victory ahead of time, but knows that the 'effect Xavi' in the Barça already is being palpable. Excluding the party against the Espanyol, February has been a month of good news for the Barcelona because, for the first time in some time, the results are accompanied of good results. Xavi has arisen like protagonist, because the changes that has implemented (and the arrival of the signings) have had a direct effect in the team.

They are many the changes that have seen in the last parties of the Barça of Xavi. From the high pressure, the exit playing from backwards or the mobility that have the forwards. It seems that the pieces begin to fit in the puzzle of the picture culé and that the time (and the work) are smiling him to the egarense, that has not surrendered in spite of that the critical have accompanied him. "Are where am, is a charge of a lot of responsibility and this goes of excellence, this goes to win and do it very well, are where am, in a club of maximum requirement", stood out Xavi.

And it is there where can initiate an analysis of what is being the Barça in the last parties, a team that is winning and does it with forcefulness, exhibitions and confidence. The culés historically have presionado very arrive (happened with Koeman also), but now this pressure is constant and keeps during everything or big part of the party. Xavi has insisted in denying the exit to the rivals with thefts of balloon for 'drown' in rival field.

That has been a point for of the Barça, feel comfortable and with confidence in the rival field, something that could try before, but saw surpassed to the moment to create played. Now, they leave the feeling that it is all the contrary, because if something has changed is the need to look for the goal. In Saint Paolo, with 0-2 in the marker, lyou players of the Barça were constantly in the rival area looking for the third and no 'slept' even in front of the discount of Insigne.

A half field of a lot of level

The return of Pedri has given a lot of fluidity to the Barcelona from the centre of the field. The Canarian is giving the freshness and necessary pause to the team and goes of exhibition in exhibition. Has a reading of game complicated of descifrar for the rivals and a capacity to push to the very notable team. Since it went back it has been a star and differential player, but Xavi is achieving that all the field find his best version.

Busquets has remained in the centre of commandos and is the attendant to carry the reins of the team, in the best possible sense. It drives, it frees, it creates lines of pressure. The one of Badía is cuajando very good parties and turns into a key footballer for the Barcelona. Frenkie Of Jong, by his part, has given a jump of impressive quality and has left surprised to all.

It reads all the movements and appears in the moment indicated, to steal balloons and jump to in front. Against the Naples was the player that more stole in rival field (13) and also is daring to shoot more to the arch. It is reencontrándose to himself same and surpassing, now also with goal. Against the Italians invented a career descomunal and shot with thread to the square to leave to Meret 'KO' and put the 0-2.

The reunion with the goal

If of reunions treats , the of the Barça with the goal has to mention. In the last two parties have annotated eight and fit three. In February, have been 15 in favour and eight against, in five parties. Comparing it with January, the difference is important: the group culé annotated nine and fit eight. It follows fitting too much, but annotates more. And it is an important starting point.

The signings have been key so that the Barça have more resources of face to the rival goal. Adama, Aubameyang and Ferran have comported like some leaders in the offensive and the effect that have in the team has seen very fast. The right extreme has been a surprise, at all, and has showed like a 'bullet' to go out to the attack. His speed and precision have been a 'balsam' so that the team can attack by out and generate superiority.

'Auba' Has comported like a 'killer' inside the area and forces to the defenders to keep and taking care his position, something that favours to the rest of attackers to generate spaces and have mobility inside the rival area. It has marked four goals in three parties like titling, surprising until to the same Xavi.

With Ferran, is another history. It is a player that has fallen of foot and has comported like a referent in the Barcelona forward. It understands the spaces, knows how associate with his mates and avoids to lose a lot of balloons. A 'crack' in all the rule that has turned into a player of "another level", as it has recognised the own egarense.
